The Recce

Are there any potential hazards that could pose a health and safety risk where your photo shoot will take place (trailing cables/traffic/other objects )? 
When visiting the studio before booking my slot for the photoshoot, I assessed the studio for hazards and found little to none. All cables were kept away so that no trailing cables were visible, creating a safe and professional environment. Due to the road around the studio being a one-way system, the traffic was generally busy in this area.

What will you do to ensure these risks are minimised?
To avoid having to get caught within the traffic, I set my time at 10am, when rush hour (8am-9am) was over, and I decided to travel to the nearest metro station and take a 5-minute walk from there.

Will the time of day/weather affect the outcome of your photos? Have you allowed this?
As my photos will be taken in an indoor photography studio with artificial lighting, the time of day and weather will not affect my photos.

Have you considered the background to your photos, particularly if take outside? How will you ensure you get the background you want?
The background to my photos will simply be a backdrop due to my main focus being placed on the model. I do, however, want the background to be a dark shade of grey, in order to emphasise the pop of colour (red) in areas of the image. To do this, I must use low-key lighting, which I will ask Colin (studio technician) to do for me/help me with. 

Have you considered lighting? What about the 'problems' of natural lighting, either outside or streaming through a window? Will you need to use a flash? Have you considered reflective objects that may ruin the effect?
At my chosen studio, they have professional artificial lighting, therefore, I do not need to worry about the problems of natural lighting. The flash used within the studio, will emit from the professional bulbs and shades to create a natural, high quality effect. Reflective objects such as high-shine nail polish, and the glitter used may reflect the flash, but this may depend on the angle of the image, and if I cannot seem to get rid of the flash, I could simply edit the reflection out.

Do you have permission to take photos in the place/venue you have in mind?
Yes, I got in contact with Colin to check the availability and to book a slot that fit around mine and my model's timetables.

Are other people/crowds likely to be an issue for you? What have you done to ensure they will not spoil the effect?
The studio is booked for my use only, and it follows a schedule that notes when the studio is in use, meaning I will have no trouble with the being in my image.

Are you reliant on lifts/props/friends equipment/models? How have you ensured that these things will come together at the appointed time? Do you have a Plan B?
I am reliant on public transport to make my way to the studio, but will be leaving with plenty of time in case of any struggle with this. As my model is a friend of mine who lives nearby, she will be using the same public transport as me, therefore we will be travelling together, ensuring that she too will leave early and be at the studio on time. I have also arranged the time of the shoot around both of our scheduled so that we are both guaranteed to be free. I am not using any props, however, the hair/make-up will be provided by me, so I will carry them with me. The costume as directed, is being provided by my model, however, I trust that she will impress me due to her fashion-conscious character. 

Finally, have you thought of every eventuality?
I feel as though I have considered all eventualities through my Recce post, and I am feeling confident and excited about the shoot and it's outcome.
